10 Causes of Bladder Pain
Cause #9: Neurogenic Bladder
Neurogenic bladder is a term describing dysfunction of the urinary bladder because of disease to the central nerves or peripheral nerves that are involved in micturition. Neurogenic bladder generally results in difficulty or inability to pass urine without the help of a catheter.
Some causes of neurogenic bladder include syringomyelia, herniated disks, neural tube defects, brain tumors, diabetes, peripheral neuropathy, alcoholism, and vitamin B12 deficiency. Neurogenic bladder occurs when there is nerve damage. This can lead to a bladder spasm, which results in leakage and pain in the bladder.
